In older registers, you'll find many "wrong" words, Roxa instead of Rocha, Maxado instead of Machado, sinco instead of cinco (5). They're not older spellings, are simply wrong ways to write, tolerated in those times. Examples of older spellings are Mideiros for Medeiros, Joam for Joao, Cibrao for Cipriano, Bracelos/Baracelos for Barcelos; Curuvelo/Cruvelo/Coruvelo for Curvelo.

Doug Holmes, have you ever found any of your ROCHA spelled ROXA? I am having some doubts about my lineage. There are a few Rocha in Santo Antonio, several different lines but with same names. It happens that in 1879 my GG Grandfather was known as Manuel da Rocha, but 16 years earlier, it is known as Manuel da Roxa! Also in one year he is known as a farmer (camponez) and 16 years later a fisherman (pescador or maritimo). If you, Doug, or anyone out there researching these Rocha, please let me know if its normal Rocha being spelled Roxa in earlier 1800's.
